Article Synopsis
- Lupus nephritis (LN) is a serious condition related to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and this study seeks to understand how the timing of LN onset affects patients' renal outcomes and relapse rates.
- The research involved 66 LN patients, analyzing their demographic, laboratory, and treatment data to compare relapse-free rates between those with early versus delayed remission and initial-onset versus delayed-onset LN.
- Findings indicate that patients with initial-onset LN (<12 months post-SLE development) have a significantly higher relapse-free rate than those with delayed-onset LN (≥12 months), suggesting that delayed-onset is a risk factor for LN relapse.
Introduction: Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis (MRH) is a rare histiocytic disorder that involves the skin, joints, and visceral organs.
Case Presentation: We report a 67-year-old woman with MRH who presented with a 2-years history of polyarthralgia and skin nodules. Her symptoms were an inflammatory polyarthropathy with punched-out lesions of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints of both hands.
Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a rare disease that involves the presence of gas in the intestinal wall. Connective tissue disease (CTD) is a major cause of secondary PCI. In addition to the nature of CTDs, the use of prednisolone and some immunosuppressants, and the presence of complicating diseases such as diabetes mellitus, constipation and pulmonary diseases are involved in the development of PCI.
